Fatal T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

[iyeru42]

When adding a new required file at the end of the index.php, PHP gives the fatal error on line 33 (shown below as an opening curly bracket.)

Removing {$CFG['general']['name']} doesn't solve the problem by the way. Removing the below code also doesn't help.

$L_NEWMEMBER	 = "Welcome our newest member: <a href=\"member.php?action=getprofile&userid={$aStats['newestmember']}\">";

Or any single piece of the code.

Is getresult a valid method for the database object? I don't see anything wrong with the lines you posted.

Yes, it is a valid object. That's why I'm having trouble getting rid of the error. I use EasyPHP to do all of this, mind you. However, even putting the @ symbol (like I said) to remove the error, creates a blank page.

Where do you put the @ symbol to remove the error? That is where the error is happening. If you add the symbol to the include statement and the error message goes away, then obviously the problem is inside the included file. Check the file names on the error message, make sure you're looking in the right file for the problem.

Erp, nevermind; I found the problem.
